Abstract: The invention relates to a heat-conducting element (10) for arrangement between movable components (B1, B2) in a vacuum, comprising rolling elements (11), which are guided between two running surfaces (12, 13) that can be moved linearly relative to each other, and further comprising at least one supporting element (14), which is mounted so as to spring back elastically against one of the running surfaces (12) and which contacts said running surface (12) in such a manner that a thermal bridge exists between said supporting element (14) and the running surface (12). The invention further relates to an assembly (30) made of two components (B1, B2) which can be moved relative to each other, comprising at least one linear bearing (20) accommodated between said components (B1, B2), and at least one heat-conducting element (10) according to the invention, which is arranged between the components (B1, B2) in an elastically preloaded manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a linear guiding system (1) comprising at least one guide rail (2), at least one guide carriage (3) that is supported on the guide rail and can be moved therealong, and a device (5) for measuring a distance traveled by the guide carriage relative to the guide rail and/or determining a position of the guide carriage relative to the guide rail. The measuring device (5) encompasses a measuring rule (10) and a measuring head (21) that is provided with at least one sensor for scanning the measuring rule (10). The measuring rule extends in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail while being arranged along or on a surface (2.1) of the guide rail (2) facing the support zone (40) of the guide carriage (3). A cavity (25) for accommodating the measuring head is embodied in the guide carriage. Said cavity (25) is configured entirely or partly outside the support zone (40) while the measuring head (21) is disposed entirely or partly in the cavity (25) and entirely or partly outside the support zone (40).

Abstract: In order to keep to a minimum the expense, in particular, the expense for the formation of reference surfaces, with a linear guide system with two guide rails (10, 12) and, respectively, two carriages (30, 32), it is proposed that a spacing plate (20) is welded, adhered, or is attached in another manner, such that the reference marks of the guide rails (10, 12) can further form the reference for the system. As a further feature, it is proposed to weld, adhere, etc., a further spacing plate (60) between the carriages (30, 32).

Abstract: A linear movement guide for translatory relative movement, without lubricants, of objects to be moved along a guide axis (1) comprises a rail (2) on which at least one carrying surface (10), which extends parallel to the guide axis, is provided, and a carriage (8) which comprises at least one loop (9, 45) of roller bodies, wherein the loop (9, 45) of roller bodies is a closed loop for the circulation of roller bodies. The roller bodies, which are arranged in the loop (9, 45) of roller bodies of the carriage (8), during a relative movement between the carriage (8) and the rail (2), for the transfer of loads, run through a carrying area of the loop of roller bodies and in this process are positioned both against the carrying surface (10) of the rail (2) and against the carriage (8), at least essentially free of any organic lubricants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying to a carrier a marking serving to measure length, angle cr the like, such as, for example, a magnetic tape (4), by means of which the accuracy of the measurements is improved. In the case of such methods, in one marking step a means for producing a track with markings, for example a writing head (9), is guided over the carrier and, by virtue of the fact that the carrier is acted upon, markings, for example magnetic north and south poles, are applied therein at predetermined positions of the carrier.

Abstract: A guide member for a linear movement guide, which guide member is arranged on and can execute movements in longitudinal direction along a rail (1). Guide members (2) of this type are provided with at least one roll body circuit (6a-6d), wherein each roll body circuit comprises a return channel, a bearing zone (11), as well as two deflection channels (13) that connect the return channel (12) and the bearing zone (11). Each roll body circuit contains several roll bodies (7), wherein guide means are provided for guiding the roll bodies inside the roll body circuit. A roll body circuit of this type is intended to dispense with the feeding of lubricants. For this, the invention suggests that at least some of the guide means, at least in the region of the running surfaces for the roll bodies, be provided with a plastic material having at least two components. The first component is embedded in the form of particles in the second component.
